Claremont Graduate University
(CGU) has officially opened the Yuhaaviatam Center for Health Studies, the new home for its School of Community & Global Health and a nexus for researchers to address health and well-being challenges prevalent in underserved communities The naming of the center honors the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, whose funding supports the path to equality in community-based health research
Yuhaaviatam is a Serrano word meaning People of the Pines; the Yuhaaviatam Center was made possible because of a $14 million gift from the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians, which allowed the university to purchase a bookstore on the perimeter of the campus that served The Claremont Colleges Another gift from the Tribe helped fund renovations to the interior of the architecturally significant building
“The Yuhaaviatam Center for Health
Studies is a wonderful example of partnership,” said CGU President Len Jessup “I could not be more grateful to the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians and our other supporters for their belief in CGU’s commitment to make a difference in the world The center will benefit our faculty and students, but most important, it will expand their ability to improve lives, especially in communities that need it most ”
Faculty and students are researching an array of health issues such as diabetes prevention and management, smoking cessation, burnout among healthcare providers, and stress among children and adolescents
They are also focusing on “diseases of despair,” including drug abuse, alcoholism, and suicide, that disproportionately afflict socioeconomically disadvantaged communities
The gift to CGU in December 2020 exemplifies San Manuel’s philanthropic commitment to inland Southern California a commitment rooted in the call of Yawa’, a Serrano word meaning “acting
on one’s beliefs,” often expressed through a culture of giving Over the past 20 years, San Manuel has provided more than $300 million to support education, healthcare and well-being, transitional housing, and a host of other initiatives
“Among our priorities is providing resources that promote healthy and resilient communities, and research is a key pillar in those efforts,” Chairwoman Lynn Valbuena says “As healthcare continues to evolve along with factors that determine quality of life, it is important that underserved communities are represented in solutions to better living We hope the Yuhaaviatam Center will serve as a place for thought leaders to collaborate and bring forth solutions for all people regardless of their ability to access the best care ”
Valbuena, Tribal Secretary Audrey Martinez, and Council Member Ed Duro attended the official opening of The Yuhaaviatam Center on May 11, along with guests from Prime Healthcare, which also provided philanthropic support Valbuena and Jessup spoke at the

dedication ceremony, as did former San Manuel Tribal Chairman Deron Marquez, Ph D , who is also a CGU alumnus and a member of CGU’s Board of Trustees
Marquez was instrumental in establishing the Tribal Administration Certificate Program at the university in 2006 Endowed by the Tribe and offered at no cost to participants, the two-year program provides instruction for San Manuel employees on topics including tribal sovereignty, tribal gaming and governance, federalism, and executive leadership
San Manuel’s ties with CGU date back to the 1990s when CGU alumnus and Board of Trustees member Alfred Balitzer worked with San Manuel on a California ballot proposition to legalize gaming on tribal lands
“Our relationship with San Manuel is grounded in respect and trust, and it began long before I became president,” Jessup said “It’s important to acknowledge those who built that relationship over the decades ”

Community Gr oups Host ‘Ar t of Br eathing’ Ar t Show and Spoken Word Event to Show
Resistance to Pollution T hr ough Cr eativity
Community News
The People’s Collective for Environmental Justice (PC4EJ) together with Creative Grounds and the Sierra Club My Generation campaign hosted the ‘Art of Breathing’ show on Saturday, May 20 in downtown San Bernardino
Several community-based artists used different mediums –from photography to sculptures and paintings – to send vivid, creative messages about the impacts of air, pollution, warehouse, development, and climate change on their health, and lived environment
On Friday, May 20, the three groups also hosted a spoken word poetry event that focused on the same themes of environmental justice
Bridges of Pride Celebrates the Star t of Pride Month in San Ber nardino
Community News
The Garcia Center for the Arts hosted its first annual Bridges of Pride event in San Bernardino on Saturday, May 20th Organized by city-natives Amy Zapata,Yulissa Mendoza, and drag artist Jean Decay, the day featured makeup tutorials, fan-art workshops, and culminated in a live drag show
Zapata and Mendoza coordinated the event in an attempt to give light and space to those underrepresented in the community With the success of Bridges of Pride, Zapata and Mendoza hope to bring more queer-friendly events to the Inland Empire “Everything in my art is to highlight the underrepresented,” says Zapata She also notes that support from the Garcia Center and Arts Connection of San Bernardino County made the event possible
Activities began with a lesson on drag history from artist Jean Decay who shared a timeline on the evolution of drag Sporting a “china poblana” skirt made by Decay’s grandmother, Decay educated the attendees about the known origins of drag “Presenting 150 years of drag history to my hometown was a dream,” they noted during the talk “Drag is a wonderful and accessible art form that deserves to be celebrated, especially in a community I care so deeply for ”
Next, the crowds moved to handheld fan art with Micah Amaro Amaro enjoys bipoc focused art with bright colors, big eyes and hopes that her art can inspire others to be themselves unapologeti-
cally The Paint Sesh she hosted was such a success she ran out of material
Fans in hand, the group then had the chance to flex their dance muscles with ballet folklorico dancer Fresa con Crema Fresa led the group through various dance steps, some which were simple and some which were more complex
Once finished, attendees then gathered to watch drag artist Sissy, fresh out of retirement, give an expert make-up tutorial All stared in amazement as Sissy shared his skills including using eyeshadow to add shine to lipstick and the “baking” technique many drag artists use to help clean off make-up when they are done
The festivities ended with a high-energy drag show Jean Decay kicked things off with a performance of Santigold’s Chasing Shadows Next, drag artist Girlie Drag returned to the Garcia Center for a medley performance of hits including Rocio Durcal’s Costumbres and Gloria Trevi’s Todos Me Miran Jean Decay then closed the show with Barbara Streisand’s Don’t Rain on My Parade The electric atmosphere even inspired some attendees to take the stage themselves!
Overall, the event was a huge success for Zapata and Mendoza who hope to bring back Bridges of Pride for next year “We can only go up from here,” says Zapata “Next year the event will be even bigger as we seek to celebrate queer culture in the Inland Empire We’re already here We just need to be seen ”
Both events were hosted to acknowledge Asthma Awareness Month and continue to encourage conversations on the need for clean air and health solutions for San Bernardino in the Inland Empire
“As the people who experience the impacts of air pollution and environmental inequality everyday, we hope that the use of cre-
ative expression and poetry serve as a form of healing and resistance,” said Angie Balderas, board member with PC4EJ “The idea of the Art of Breathing exhibit and spoken word event serves to continue important conversations and forms of community building that will keep us grounded in the fight against polluters ”
The logistics and warehousing industry is the dominating economic force in the Inland empire But their development and emissions have come come at a hefty cost for the community’s health Last month, American Lung Association ranked Riverside and San Bernardino counties as the two top ozone polluted regions in the U S
Elizabeth Florez, who contributed a sculpture created from recycled and repurposed material, hopes that their art and that of other exhibit participants will help incite more interest and action from people in the community
“It’s scary to think how we’ve depleted entire ecosystems that have existed for centuries in a matter of months or years But I hope this art can continue to inspire people to make change ”
